I've been pretty clear for about two and a half weeks...then a series of spots popped up in the same place as always, my left cheek. I didn't wait, I picked of course. They healed within a few days because I'm mean to them and force them to reduce quicker using unconventional methods. This leaves scars and little bumps but at this point I would rather deal with those than a spot. This is me being stubborn again. I can deal with the mental distress over covering a scar more so than covering a bum

I'm pretty sure the southern air was a big factor in my minor breakout this week but I'm getting it under control...I hope haha. I'm in a good mood though...even though it is raining outside here in lovely Ohio. The beach this past week was absolutely beautiful! I have the most gorgeous pics of a sunrise on my phone. Not only is that southern air just constantly wet, but I also didn't get much sleep because we were required to leave at 6 every morning to go teach at a school an hour f

You know how you get really happy and excited when you clear up (which I have almost done yay!)? Well lately I've been experiencing this sick feeling along with the happiness...the feeling that says this won't last for long and you'll have another spot to deal with in just a little while....I HATE that feeling. I'm trying to follow this new regimen that I came up with and it's kind of intense I guess cause I'm doin a face wash and neutrogena deep clean and witch hazel and BP and then I've got mi

Ok so now I'm starting to think that my 'acne' problem is not actually acne but what they call that pirytosporum folliculitis. I have all these clogged pores that have been around forever and have not turned into anything yet but some that have been irritated have turned into big inflamed bumps...like acne but now I'm not so sure that it is. Yes, I get pimples every so often like everyone, but I really think that what I have may be more of this fungal infection than acne. I'd actually rather it

I hate going through these mood swings. I hate it because the one spot I thought I had under control has gotten bigger. Ugh. I hate you I hate you I HATE YOU! I'm convinced that this is why people become drug addicts and alcoholics. I think one of the problems is I haven't really been eating the past two days because I haven't had time really and when I do hae time I just forget about it because I'm not hungry at that moment. I hate this. I hate my face. I feel ugly. I'm not ugly.

Ok so no one will probably read this but IF YOU DO...my mother advised me today to stock up on my vitamins so I bought B-6, Biotin, and I already have Niacin on top of what's left of the Minocycline I've been taking for a little over a month and then Ibuprofen. >phew< that's a lot to remember haha on top of using this new cleanser and moisturizer and BP. We'll see what happens in the next two days because I am hoping these suckers go down even more by saturday night...that's my guy's band'

Ok so this morning I was obviously not in the best emotional shape but today has been a good day so far. So my face is still broken out...OH WELL. I have covered it up as best as I can with makeup and I know that my guy still likes me even though I am broken out so that's really the best thing. I skipped one class today and it wasn't because I was emotionally distraught...it was because I went to lunch with the guy and had a good time I was even able to sleep this afternoon and now I have

I hate looking at my face in the mirror. I used the aveeno complexion clearing face wash last night and the ultra-calming cream which granted is supposed to be for day time but since this stuff doesn't clog pores then it should work at night too, right? I put more BP on and it looks even bigger today. It has been four days since it's birth and I am ready for it to die already. Like ok, it looks like it's coming to a head but at the same time it hasn't yet. Like you can see the white under t

So I just introduced myself in the introduction forums and now I've decided to blog because I need to tell someone about what's going on with my problematic face because I'm too embarrassed to talk about it with the people I know, including the guy I'm seeing. I just wish it would go away. I never had this problem before about a year ago and now it is this persistent leech in my life that sucks all my life spirit out of me and makes me even more self-conscious than I was before. And I'm sor
